Q: What bootloader does this need?
A: It is strongly advised to install the One UI 3.1 update before installing Fresh 3, for the most stable experience. Installing on Android 10 will cause issues, and is not supported.
Q: Do I need to flash anything after installing Fresh?
A: There is no need! Fresh is already pre-patched. Simply flash all mods you need, as well as data recovery ZIPs (ie. data restore packages) and Reboot to System.
Q: Does X feature work?
A: Yes! Try it for yourself.
Q: How do I update my Fresh installation?
A: It's very easy! Simply go to Settings, tap Software updates and update away. You can access it much faster using the Fresh Hub shortcut on your Apps screen!
Q: Is my data safe with Fresh Hub?
A: Yes. Fresh Hub does not collect any information except ping counts to the download server, facilitated by SourceForge.
Q: I'm experiencing X bug on my Y device.
A: Please report through this feedback form, or the Fresh Community on Discord or Telegram. Please include logs, screenshots, or screen recordings so I can help you better.
